What is domain and hosting?

A domain is a unique web address. It is actually the name of your web site which you have chosen when registrating in the Net. Some of the well - known domains do not correspond exactly to the name of the company and the name of the site.

Usually it must be connected to your activity and the services you offer. However, it is not always so. For example, Google and Yahoo are one of the most well - known names of sites although its real name means nothing.
Hosting is a space where the files of a web site are stored on a server, which is constantly connected with the Internet. It is a kind of service by which you may rent a space or a traffic, using a company so your web site would be publish online. There are many hosting companies which offer that service.
